You didn’t specify what kind of weight.  Do-It makes all kinds of molds.  They may have what you are wanting.  If it is something that Barlow’s carries they are often cheaper than Do-It.

 

There are various types of melting pots.  You can get bottom pours or units that you dip out with a ladle.  The latter is the most trouble free and probably least expensive.  I am personally only familiar with bottom pours.  I have a Lee and a RCBS.  The Lee is prone to rusting and clogging but is inexpensive.  I used it for 20 years making thousands of jigs but also cleaning it regularly and replacing worn out parts.  The RCBS is a super unit but costs a lot more money.  I have only had it a few years but it has performed flawlessly.

 

I hope this is what you wanted.
